Hmmm.

[ There's a little pause, one that's significantly shorter than the ones she had earlier – ]

You know, Hien, I don't think I'm curious enough to exchange that information with you. I think it'd be a lot more rewarding for you if you could find those answers yourself.

[ She does not sound very sincere about that, though. And is she referring to question 1 or 2?

The answer is yes. ]

[selfconcept]

Not even the coffee? I saw you drinking it so often that I was wondering if I should try it out myself, since you seem to like it so much.

[ He seems satisfied either way, as if he got what he wanted despite Lorelei sounded insincere. Any reaction is a small win for him, because anything tells him a lot about the person more than others think they do. That's just how Self is. ]

[instructus]

...Fine, I'll tell you what coffee I enjoy: Anything without condiments.

[ And that's that. ]

[ Hien laughs a little. With the distortion and static, it actually sounds demonic... maybe that's why he doesn't laugh often. ]

And here I thought I'd get a solid recommendation.

[ He still sounds amused, but a deal is a deal. ]

I wanna beat the shit out of someone, and Owen just happens to fit the bill at the moment. He even gave me permission to stab him.

[ He says that with no malice whatsoever. In fact, there's a small glee in his voice.

Anyway. ]

But I don't wanna get Riku caught up in it. That's why I'm suggesting that the connections be cut before we get to return to our respective worlds.

[ That elicits a chuckle out of her – a heartier one than any other one she's made thus far, as far as the students know. ]

Interesting, interesting! I can't say I'm entirely surprised, but that's quite the plan you've got there.

[ She doesn't seem to give her answer much thought, though: ]

I'll take it into consideration, but I make no promises.

[selfconcept]

Understandable.

[ He went into this with no guarantees anyway. ]

Guess that's all from me. Sleep well, Miss Instructor.

[ If she doesn't want to add anything, he'll hang up. ]

[instructus]

You as well, Hien.

[ End convo! ]
